01 / ABOUT THE PLACE
About this place
The sandwiches here catch the eye immediately, toasted to a fragrant crisp on the outside and packed generously with filling. A standout is the corned beef sandwich, brightened by tangy sauerkraut and sharp mustard, delivering a substantial bite without feeling overly heavy. By contrast, the honey cheese sandwich layers melted cheeses such as gorgonzola and mozzarella with honey and freshly cracked black pepper, creating a sweet and savoury balance that pairs particularly well with darker roasts.
The kitchen takes inventive turns with its fillings. Savoury options include tender pulled pork simmered teriyaki-style, layered with crunchy lotus root and yuzu pepper mayonnaise, alongside a hearty mashed potato sandwich studded with prawns, shimeji mushrooms, and genovese sauce. For something sweet, there are sandwiches filled with banana, peanut butter, and cane sugar, or a chewy combination of soft gyuhi mochi, red bean paste, and cream cheese. House-made smooth custard pudding and baked sweets are also on hand, available to eat in or takeaway.
Drinks are given equal care, led by specialty drip coffee brewed cup by cup and crisp cold brew. Milk choices are versatile, spanning classic cafe lattes as well as soy and oat milk preparations. Guests can also branch out with an espresso-spiked matcha latte, spiced chai, or chilled hyuganatsu citrus juice for a bright fruit note.
The cafe occupies a snug room with limited seating. From opening at 8:00, local walkers drop by and takeaway orders move steadily out the door. Cashless payments including credit cards and PayPay are supported, making it an easy neighbourhood stop for freshly assembled sandwiches and freshly brewed coffee in Shibuya's Honmachi quarter.
